A GIFT FOR THE POPE.
To Be Presented With a Magnificent
Work of Art.
From the Ne0 York Times.

FfOHt tue NeO L Ofh itHteS.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 3-The Redemptorist
Fathers of the Province of Baltimore have
had prepared for presentation to the Pope
upon the occasion of his golden jubilee a
combination writing desk and bookcase. 1t
is magnificent work of art, being a pictorial
history, carved in wood, of the Catholic
Church in America, and is one of the finest
pieces of workmanship ever turned out in
this country. The woods used in its forma-
ton include lockwood, sycamore, cedar,
maple, mahogany, walnut, the butternut
tree and oak. The article is IL feet high and
feet wide, and is embellished with carved
representations of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
st. Alphonsus, st. Joachim, st. Leo, st.
Thomas and Pope Leo On the left wall of
the base, or the writing desk, is represen-
tatiOn of the landing of Columbus. He is
shown, surrounded by his followers, planting
the cross in the newly found country. The
Pinta, Nina and Santa Maria are in the dis
lance on the ocean, and boat filled with
the discoveries is being pulled toward the
shore. In the clouds appears the Virgin
Mary, surrounded by angels, bestowing her
blessing upon the safely harbored voyagers.
The left wall is adorned with a carving
representative of the landing of the first Re-
demptoristS at New York, who came from
the Old World $40 years after Columbus, to
labor for the cross he had planted. st. AL
phonsus is seen in the heavens bestowing his
blessing upon the new arrivals. On the back
of the bookcase there is a rich carving Of
Pope Leo in full pontifical robes, with ex-
tended HANDS blessing the members of all
the various religious orders, and their work
of propagating the faith. Beneath this are
the coat of arms of the German empire and
Spain, reminding the beholder of the inn
portant part taken by the Pope as mediator
between these two countries in their dispute
over the Caroline islands The manufacture
of this article was begun last April. 1t will

ADoNATIoN OF 100000.
Baron Hirsch's Magnificent Gift to His
Co-Religionists in Russia.
From the Ne,o York World.

CO-Rellg1OnlStS IN Russia
From the Neto York World.
LONDON. Dec. 1.-The Pesther loud re-
Gently announced that Baron Hirsch had
given s200O0,000 to be distributed among
the Hebrew communities of Europe and
Hebrew charities in proportion correspond
ing to their necessities. This news was con-
tradicted, and, in point of fact, in this form
it was inaccurate. The true version is the
following: About three months ago, some
days before the departure for Copenh gen
of the Emperor of Russia, Baron Hirsch
sent letter to the Car in which he offered
the sum of 100000 to found in Russia
primary schools for Hebrews and $500, 900 to
be at the disposal of the Car for works of
charity. The Car wrote a note on the
letter, and requested the Russian Minister
of the Interior to report verbally upon it
on his return to Russia. The offer thus
remained a dead letter for three months.
During this time those who knew of it
asked if Baron Hirsch justly offended by
this delay, would not withdraw his promise,
and if such delay did not expose this great
and generous idea to the risk of not being
realized. These fears are now at an end.
On the return of the Gar he received the
verbal report of his Minister of the Interior
on the subject, and signed his acceptance of
the gift. The SI0, 100000 are to be paid
into the Bank of England, and Baron Roths-
child and Baron De Worms, who were ap-
pointed trustees, and who will be replaced
in case of death, will receive the interest of
the sum SO deposited. 1t is estimated that,
with its annual interest of about SJ00, 900
it will be possible to open 1000 schools, re-
ceiving $4,000 children who will thus be
rescued from ignorance and bad example.
Never has such a munificent gift been made
by rich man in his lifetime to the desti-

coming session Of Congress, agree to the
amendment which has already passed the
Senate, and which provides for the appro-
priation of about 81 600, 600 for the relief of
the depositors. About 62 per cent. of the
Indebtedness of the bank has already been
paid in installments. The first installment
was paid in November, 1875; the second in
March, 1878: the third in September. 1880;
the fourth in June, 1882, and the final divi-
dend in 1888. The amount of these divi-
dends aggregated 81 per cent. of the whole
amount due There is still owing to the
depositors balance of 80 per cent, which
will be fully covered by the appropriation
provided for by the Senate bin. All the
depositors are having their balances due

sL1LFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.
Removing the Main Facial Nerves to
Cure Acute Neuralgia in the Face.


From the NeU York sun.
BosToN, Dec. Am interesting surgical
operation was successfully performed before
the students of the Harvard Medical School
at the Massachusetts, General Hospital on
the last operating day. DR.. Porter, of this
city who is one of the most skilful surgeons
in the country, performed the operation.
The patient was a man of so or 90 years OF
age, who had been suffering for many years
from neuralgia pains in the side OF the race.
He went to the hospital to seek relief at any
cost. 1t was decided that the only remedy
WIS the removal of the diseased nerves from
the face. He willingly submitted TO the
operation. He was etherized on the operation.

The facial nerve which was to be re-
moved rises from the brain, coming out
through the front of the skull, aud, extend
ing down under the eye and parallel to the
nose. branches out over the whole cheek,
the principal part of the nerve running
through the centre of the cheek. DR.. Por-
ter made an incision at the angle of the jaw,
or where it hinges to the skull the jawbone
being laid bare. The bone over the menal
foramen the groove in which the nerve
lies was trepanned, or drilled away, the
nerve being exposed to view. The Doctor
then caught hold of the diseased nerve, and,
by slight exertion, pulled it out of the
foramen. Next an incision was made UNI
derneath the eye, laying bare the nerve,
which was also pulled out, or as much of it
as the Doctor could get at. A similar
operation was performed just over the eye.
In this way the greater part of the nerves
of the face, which had caused the patient
so much pain, were removed. There was a
free flow of blood, but this was stopped by
lgating the arteries
The operation lasted fully an hour, and
resulted in a most satisfactory manner. The
whole network of nerves in the cheek was
not destroyed, and that would be well nigh
impossible, but the main diseased parts
were removed, so that the patient will prob
ably never again experience the excruci
ating torture of acute neuralgia in that spot,
although he will not have the same control
of that side of his face

GEoRGIA's CAPITAL CITY.
Two Ticket Thieves Arrested-The
High License Movement.

41l6A ALlSOA4oO o4ONCAAOAAS'
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 5.-The police ar
rested here to-day Ford S. Perkins and M.
j. Demedices, who are believed to be pro-
fessional crooks and burglars. They were
offering for sale about $4,000 worth of
tickets which are believed to have been
stolen from the Auditors Office Of the Jack
sonville, Tampa and Key West railroad in
Jacksonville and carried to Orange City,
where they were stamped. The tickets are
from points in Florida to Chicago, Cincin-
natl, St Louis and other cities. In
searching the baggage of the men
scores of letters and clippings
from papers were found showing numerous
instances in which they had been arrested
for burglary, and also accounts of burgla-
ries in which the names of the perpetrators
are not given The records give them
very unssvory reputation. They sold about
800 worth of tickets to scalpers here, and
while offering others for sale the scalpers
pointed them out to the police. Upon search
ing their clothes several sets Of burglars
tools were found.
The City Council had a lively business
meeting to-day. A lergthy ordinance was
introduced for the control of spirituous and
malt liquors. 1t proposes to restrict the safe
TO certain limits, taking in the main business
streets, and zgzagging to let in the leading
hotels. 1t also propo:es to retain the 81 800
license. 1t is an ironclad ordinance, which
will probably see rough time before its
passage.

BASE BALL IN THE SOUTH.
A Meeting Held at Atlanta and Plans
Made for a League.


ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 5.-The Southern
Base Ball League held meeting here to-
day, resulting in nothing definite as to the
makeup of the league. A heated discus
sion grew out of the movement to put in
two clubs from New Orleans.
The members of the Southern League
now are New Orleans Charleston, Mem
phis and Birmingham. The representatives
present were: j. 7. Wilson, of Birming-
ham, President Morris Kaufman, of New
Orleans; James i. Powell, of Charleston;
Frank M. Iron, of Birmingham; and Ernest
T. Florence, of New Orleans, repre-
senting by proxy the Memphis
club. Mr.. Florence wanted two clubs from
New Orleans, TO go into the league, and as
proxy Of Memphis, advocated that idea
Messrs. Kaufman and Brennon, representa-
tives of New Orleans, opposed the two club
suggestion on the ground that New Orleans
would not support both, and, besides, as
their club owned the franchise of that city
they were entitled to represent it. 1t was
stated in the meeting that the new club from
New Orleans had made an offer TO take
81, 500 Of stock in the Memphis club if
that club would favor letting them
in. AS before stated nothing
definite was accomplished. Messrs. Kauf-
man and Brennan left tonight for Chatta-
nooga and Nashville in the interest of form
ing the league. 1t was decided that if At
lanta, Mobile, Chattanooga and Nashville
will go into the league New Orleans will
have but one club, and if one of these cities
fails to do so another club will be admitted
from the Crescent City to make up the
league of eight clubs. Kirby S, Topper, of
Charleston, was elected Vice President of
the league, and Mr.. Kaufman was elected
delegate to the meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the national agreement at Gin
cinnati, Dec 8.
